As robots become more intelligent, autonomous and connected, much of the attention naturally falls on increasingly powerful AI models. But underneath those models is an increasingly complex collection of sensors, processors, control systems and security hardware that must operate reliably – often within strict limits on power consumption, size and heat. Lattice Semiconductor is one […]

Industrial networks used to have a fairly contained job: connect a few controllers, operator stations and plant systems, then keep them running for years. That model is changing quickly. A production floor may now include collaborative robots, machine-vision cameras, automated guided vehicles, connected tooling, industrial PCs and cloud-connected analytics platforms – all producing and consuming […]

Gravis Robotics has raised $200 million in a Series A investment from SoftBank to scale its autonomous heavy machinery technology across construction sites globally. The company says growing demand for energy networks, data centers, housing, transit and climate-resilient infrastructure is placing increasing pressure on the construction industry. Labor shortages are adding to the challenge, while […]
